Homer Electric Association would like to thank everyone who helped make our fifth annual Energy and Conservation Fairs a great success. The fairs at the Kenai Middle School and West Homer Elementary School attracted approximately 1,000 people who received information about energy efficiency, renewable energy, recycling and other topics related to this year’s theme, “Safe, Responsible Energy Solutions.”

Thank you to Grant Aviation, Embassy Suites, Best Western Bidarka, Aspen Extended Stay Suites, Two Sisters Bakery, Playa Azul Restaurant,\ and Mark Glassmaker Fishing for their generous donations. Additional thanks to Re-Group for the use of their recycle bins for collecting plastic water bottles, HEA Youth Rally participant Makayla Wong for her help in the Kid Zone, Skyview High School girls basketball team and Homer High School boys basketball team for their participation in the success of the event.

HEA also extends a big thank you to the Alaska Energy Authority for sponsoring the Energy Hog demonstration which was a big hit with the children that attended the fairs.

In addition, I would like to acknowledge the administration and staff at the Kenai Middle School and West Homer Elementary. They were incredibly accommodating and their assistance was invaluable.

Homer Electric is committed to providing our members with as much information as possible to manage their energy use. We are already looking forward to our 2014 Energy and Conservation Fairs and if you have any suggestions on how to improve our fairs, we would love to hear from you.
